It works similarly to display in CSS, but only support 'flex' and 'none'. 'flex' is the default.

Type

enum('none', 'flex')

No

end

When the direction is ltr, end is equivalent to right. When the direction is rtl, end is equivalent to left.

This style takes precedence over the left and right styles.

flex

In React Native flex does not work the same way that it does in CSS. flex is a number rather than a string, and it works according to the Yoga library at https://github.com/facebook/yoga

When flex is a positive number, it makes the component flexible and it will be sized proportional to its flex value. So a component with flex set to 2 will take twice the space as a component with flex set to 1.

When flex is 0, the component is sized according to width and height and it is inflexible.

When flex is -1, the component is normally sized according width and height. However, if there's not enough space, the component will shrink to its minWidth and minHeight.

flexGrow, flexShrink, and flexBasis work the same as in CSS.

flexDirection

flexDirection controls which directions children of a container go. row goes left to right, column goes top to bottom, and you may be able to guess what the other two do. It works like flex-direction in CSS, except the default is column. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/flex-direction for more details.

overflow

overflow controls how children are measured and displayed. overflow: hidden causes views to be clipped while overflow: scroll causes views to be measured independently of their parents main axis. It works like overflow in CSS (default: visible). See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/overflow for more details. overflow: visible only works on iOS. On Android, all views will clip their children.

zIndex

zIndex controls which components display on top of others. Normally, you don't use zIndex. Components render according to their order in the document tree, so later components draw over earlier ones. zIndex may be useful if you have animations or custom modal interfaces where you don't want this behavior.

On iOS, zIndex may require Views to be siblings of each other for it to work as expected.

direction

direction specifies the directional flow of the user interface. The default is inherit, except for root node which will have value based on the current locale. See https://facebook.github.io/yoga/docs/rtl/ for more details.
